Alan O'Shea of Bantry AC wins the 2010 Dublin Half-Marathon

Just in! Alan O'Shea of Bantry AC has won what is the largest Half-Marathon in the country. The 2010  Dublin Half-Marathon which was on this morning (Sat 18th Sept) attracted around 8,000 entrants and no doubt had plenty of runners vying for 1st place.

He ran the 13.1 mile course in a time of 67m 06s which works out as 5m 07s per mile!

Alan is also a former winner of the Cork City Marathon in 2007 and finished 2nd in the Copenhagen Marathon last May in a time of 2h 22m.

    Alan led the race from start to finisn and crossed the line looking as fresh as when he had started.His first mile was 4.55 and he ran the first 10 mikes around 50 minutes.Great running.

    Well done Alan, I ran this as well, and could see how quick he was going at the turn at end of Chesterfield avenue, very good run to hold a strong pace on a tough finish to this race
